how secure is open-source software?
Security problems identified can be remedied within no time with a patch release. Also, the nearly complete lack of active elements and the possibility to encode all E-mail based communication (S/MIME and PGP) provide a high degree of security.
open source solutions
. . . professionally implemented by Seeas
We believe in the strength of open source software solutions. Using Open Source components in IT projects leads to an enormous advantage in terms of efficiency, vendor lock-in reduction, adoption of flexible technologies able to adapt to the different needs of modern projects.In addition, as an open source integrator, Seeas can offer you completely independent advice on your software requirements as we have no financial incentive in the choice you make. We recognise that a balance is needed between Open Source and commercial applications and Seeas can help you to integrate new applications with your existing systems and data sources.
customisable & adaptable
Most organisations operate in an environment of frequent change. Your business processes and underlying service processes have to continually adapt to changes in customer expectations, market conditions, new legislation, etc.Open source IT solutions are highly adaptable - the software's source code is available in a human-readable form, which makes it much easier to accommodate change and allow constant refinement to optimise performance.
Rapid debugging, rapid further development
Because the source code is open, developers receive much more than bug or issue reports. Suggestions for new functionality, even specified down to the code level about what should be done, are routinely shared. This helps developers implement changes on the basis of feedback reports. Most importantly, errors in the original source code can be corrected by the person who detects the error without having to wait for the original programmer.Control the timing of upgrades
You can control the timing of upgrades. No one’s forcing you to upgrade and threatening to turn off support if you don’t upgrade.
integrates with existing systems
Integration makes it possible for applications, databases, and on-demand systems to seamlessly share information - automating your business processes, increasing efficiency, reducing costs and boosting productivity.The accessibility of Open Source code makes it relatively simple to adapt programs to work with each other. Readable source code allows the software implementer to see the logic of each function and the best way, for example, to share or exchange data with other applications.
